About Me
Hey! I’m Suleman, a software engineer who enjoys designing and building thoughtful things for the web. My journey into coding started back in 2017, sparked by running a Minecraft server and wanting to understand how everything worked behind the scenes.
I began by teaching myself HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and over time grew that curiosity into real-world projects, including launching my own web hosting venture, BitDash.
Today, I focus on building clean, reliable software and exploring new ideas under Bluesmite. I care deeply about problem-solving, thoughtful design, and creating products that are genuinely useful to people.
